Every town and city has great stories to tell. They all have local heroes and terrific tales about the people and industries of the area. In this book, Frank Beattie has tapped into the rich history of his native Kilmarnock and has brought together a wide range of facts, which cover not just the nationally important events such as one of the world's first time-tabled railway passenger services, but the quirky, like the fact that Kilmarnock celebrates Hallowe'en on the last Friday of October rather that October 31, like everyone else.
